He's Gone
May 17, 1981
Onondaga Auditorium

Comes out of Estimated, nice & subdued in the beginning. The bluesy jam leading into the Other One is worth a listen. Brent is the man on this one

Samson and Delilah
Sept. 12, 1987
Capital Centre

Hot and heady Samson coming out of a Cumberland 2nd Set Opener - drummers and Brent are especially on

Don't Ease Me In
March 30, 1990
Nassau Coliseum

Punchy Spring '90 version - practically every "Dough Knees" from this period is a rocker

New Minglewood Blues
March 25, 1983
Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Jerry goes off and Phil really cranks it up near the end. Absolutely wonderful all around

Shakedown Street
Dec. 6, 1989
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Excellent Shakedown - Brent quickly plays the Hammond for a unique start
Tennessee Jed
Feb. 24, 1973
University of Iowa

Blazing hot Jed, must be heard at least once. Even this fragment of a show is amazing
Crazy Fingers
April 7, 1991
Orlando Arena

Real heady jam heading out of Crazy Fingers and into Playin'
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Oct. 2, 1972
Springfield Civic Center

So so underrated. Just an excellent early Half-Step with great playing that leads into another Wake of the Flood classic, Stella Blue
Greatest Story Ever Told
June 30, 1974
Civic Center

Really out there and spacey. Wonderful work from Jerry. Here and there at the same time - a Schrödinger's GSET.
